What happens if you let your tongue dry out?


Question:
What happens if you stick your tongue out of your mouth and let it dry out? Does it puff up and get painful or anything?

Answers:
As long as it's still connected to your body it will still be normal, but you will temporarily muffle your sense of taste.

Go ahead - allow your tongue to dry out and then put a little sugar on the tip of your dry tongue - you probably won't taste it at all. Saliva helps facilitate your taste buds. Without it life isn't nearly as interesting.

Other Answers:
What the hell is the matter with you? Of course not.
